Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We elucidated the mechanism of cryoprotective activity of dehydrin, an intrinsically disordered protein which is related to the preservation of plant seeds. We also purified another intrinsically disordered protein RVCaB from radish, found the cryoprotective activity, and identified the active segment. As a result, we found a common action mechanism between dehydrin and RVCaB, and proposed a new cryoprotective model which can complement the conventional protective models. It is suggested that there are diverse species of intrinsically disordered proteins in plants which can play an important role in their growth.
